Raptors over housing estate Worcester UK (1 Viewer)

Saw 7 of these birds very high up to gliding along slowly and "playing" together, drifted off into the distance after about 10 minutes, not good at identifying but I'm thinking Buzzards and looking for confirmation, as I said they were very high so long lens and a big crop so sorry about quality of photo

Thanks

Yep, you are correct - Common Buzzards

 

[DaveN]

Yes, Common Buzzards.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, is it common to see so many together?

It's certainly not uncommon any more! So long ago they were generally confined to certain areas in the country but are now fairly widespread. Certainly a daily occurrence here, 7 together last week.
